A very busy bank holiday weekend...

We've had a very busy weekend here at Sunderland Live supporting three fantastic events. Saturday saw over 1800 women and girls turn out to take part in Pretty Muddy which we're not going to deny... was very muddy!

Then on Sunday morning, the sun came out and shone down on Herrington Country Park for Cancer Research's Race for Life. The two races were expected to raise more than £80,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Meanwhile in Mowbray Park in the city centre some of the team were helping to support the first Sunderland Festival of Food organised by Opus Dining Club, a treat for the tastebuds if we do say so ourselves! The foodie festivities continued on until today with delicious food, live music and lots of entertainment.

We've had a lovely weekend supporting these great events and we're already looking forward to One Direction on Wednesday and next weekend's Vintage and Retro Festival!
